An enthralling journey through the career of Cristobal Hara, who after more than half a century as a photographer, returns to his origins. An invitation to rediscover the freshness and sense of wonder with which the best photographs are born. An essential title for photography lovers as well as readers drawn to authentic and transformative life stories. Everyday Spanish life is shown through unexpected angles and fragmented perspectives reflecting the rituals, traditions, and idiosyncrasies of Spanish society. After more than five decades behind the camera, the author recalls a time when being a novice photographer was synonymous with freedom, risk, and discovery. From his youthful decision to abandon the business world to devote himself to photography, through his years of learning on the streets under the dictatorship, to his first international collaborations, this book brings together the images that shaped his craft. With previously unpublished images and personal stories, the author reveals how his vocation was born inspired by Cartier-Bresson and forged on the streets of Francoist Spain and how that spirit of experimentation has accompanied him through portraits, urban scenes, travels, and unique projects. More than just a visual memoir, this work is an invitation to relive the thrill of adventure, the constant search for the unexpected, and the essence of photography as both art and life experience.

The End of the Game, una publicación histórica sobre África, combina un texto sobresaliente y unas fotografías magníficas de Peter Beard para documentar la superpoblación y el hambre de decenas de miles de elefantes, rinocerontes e hipopotamos en las tierras bajas de Tsavo, en Kenia, y en los parques nacionales de Uganda en las decadas de 1960 y 1970. Beard dedico dos decadas a investigar y compilar material para esta obra, que actualizo posteriormente en varias ocasiones. El resultado es un libro esencial que ofrece un testimonio poderoso y conmovedor del daño causado por la intervencion humana en Africa. Sus imagenes y textos se complementan con fotografias historicas y citas de empresarios, exploradores, misioneros y cazadores de caza mayor cuya busqueda de aventuras y progreso iba a cambiar la faz de un continente: Theodore Roosevelt, Frederick Courteney Selous, Karen Blixen (Isak Dinesen), Philip Percival, J. A. Hunter, Ernest Hemingway y J. H. Patterson. Esta nueva edicion incluye una entrevista con el conservacionista Dr. Esmond Bradley Martin, asi como ensayos procedentes de ediciones anteriores del reconocido escritor Paul Theroux, el ecologo Dr. Richard M. Laws y contribuciones al epilogo del agronomo Dr. Norman Borlaug. Con su modo de abordar el alejamiento de la naturaleza, la superpoblacion y el estres, asi como la perdida del sentido comun, este retrato fundamental esta tan vigente hoy, en medio de crecientes crisis ambientales, como lo estuvo hace medio siglo.
